    The Oxford Electric Bell or Clarendon Dry Pile is an experimental electric bell, in particular a type of bell that uses the electrostatic clock principle that was set up in 1840 and which has run nearly continuously ever since. It was one of the first pieces purchased for a collection of apparatus by clergyman and physicist Robert Walker.

    I think the point is that before microelectronics became available if you wanted to create an "alerting" sound electrically, the only choice was an electromechanical bell or buzzer. Now there are many other choices, and electromechanical noisemakers are becoming a niche market. --Chetvorno TALK 20:00, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
